Sarah Palin promises to bring Iran to heel with scarf embargo

Sarah Palin has stepped back into the presidential race with a shock announcement that she intends to put herself forward as Secretary of State should the Republicans win back the presidency. She began her campaign for the post by outling her key policies including "getting tough on Iran".

"We've been too soft on them up until now and I am determined to make them listen. From my experience in Alaska I know the kinda things that people will miss most in the winter months. We will put an embargo on all wool based products starting with scarves and glooves." she hollered at passers by.

If this radical policy should fail she promised to add pork scratchings and lard to the list of blocked imports.
